STEM Challenge: Build the Tallest Tower

Engineers need to practice TEAMWORK! That's the lesson to be learned in this challenge. The groups of three were given a limited amount of straws, masking tape, and time and were challenged to build the tallest straw. At the end of the competition, they had to save their straws and use them then next day to solve a different problem. This time they had to use the design principles they learned to build a tower with a platform on top that would hold a tennis ball!
